Billet Aluminium Centre Chassis Brace I Audi / CUPRA / SEAT / VW - MQB

The G54 Centre Exhaust Tunnel Chassis Brace provides a rigid connection across the middle underbody mounting points of the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 and Mk7.5 platform. The central floor section contributes to the overall torsional behaviour of the body, and a more substantial brace can help reduce local movement in this area. The result is intended to be a more consistent relationship between the front and rear suspension rather than an exaggerated or uncomfortable change in ride quality.

The component is machined from 6082 grade aluminium billet using state of the art CNC machinery. Its geometry combines broad mounting faces, radiused transitions and material reducing pockets to create an efficient load path. The fully machined construction also delivers the crisp edges and technical detail expected from a visible premium component, even when it is installed beneath the car.

An anodised finish protects the aluminium from normal road exposure and gives the end user a choice of colours. The brace suits owners building a balanced fast road, show or occasional track car and reflects the G54 objective of delivering properly engineered components at an accessible cost.

G54 products are designed, engineered and manufactured to be used. The warranty is kept simple: if a G54 product develops a genuine manufacturing or material fault, G54 will put it right.

Lifetime Warranty

Unless stated otherwise, G54 products are covered by a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser against defects in materials or manufacture.

The lifetime warranty applies for as long as the original purchaser owns the product and is not transferable.

To make a warranty claim, the original purchaser must provide:

• Proof of purchase or original sales receipt
• Valid identification confirming they are the original purchaser

Moving Components

Components such as bearings are covered for 2 years from the original date of purchase for the original purchaser.

Consumable Components

Consumable items are covered against manufacturing defects for 12 months from the original date of purchase.

Consumable components and moving parts are not covered for normal wear and tear.

Installation

G54 products must be installed correctly by a competent person using appropriate tools and suitable installation procedures.

Where applicable, vehicle manufacturer procedures and torque specifications should be followed unless stated.

Damage resulting from incorrect installation is not covered by the G54 warranty.

What Isn't Covered?

The G54 warranty does not cover:

• Normal wear and tear
• Incorrect or improper installation
• Misuse, abuse or accidental damage
• Damage caused by another faulty vehicle component
• Use on a vehicle or application for which the product was not designed
• Unauthorised modification or alteration of the G54 product
• Cosmetic damage occurring through normal use
• Corrosion or damage caused by inappropriate chemicals, cleaning products or environmental contamination

Normal use of a G54 performance component for its intended purpose does not invalidate the warranty.

Making a Claim

Warranty claims should initially be made through the retailer from which the G54 product was purchased.

Proof of purchase, identification and photographs or other information reasonably required to assess the fault may be requested.

G54 may require the product to be returned for inspection before a warranty claim can be approved.

Where a product is confirmed to have failed as a result of a manufacturing or material defect, G54 will, at its discretion, repair or replace the affected product.

Unless otherwise agreed, this voluntary warranty covers the G54 product itself and does not include installation labour, vehicle recovery, vehicle hire or other associated costs, except where such costs must be covered by law.

Statutory Rights

The G54 No Nonsense Warranty is provided in addition to the purchaser's statutory rights and does not affect those rights.
